Hiba Abu Nada is a poet, novelist, and educator from Palestine, and she will always be. This is the last poem she wrote before she was murdered by Israel on Oct. 20th. Hiba grants us refuge in her words from a world gone mad. proteanmag.com/2023/11/03/i-g…
I'm very happy to have a poem in the forthcoming issue of this excellent magazine.

@thedarkhorsemag @naushsabah @PoetryBrum @naushsabah, however, can take the credit for the first commission for a piece of writing on contemporary poetry. As I remember she DM'd me on Twitter and said something like "I'm looking for people who don't mind saying what they think".

“The Flip Flop” by James O’Hara-Knight @OHaraKnight
What's the most haunting line you've ever read in a piece of literature? Something that stays with you like a shadow.
Terribly sad to learn of the death of Helen Vendler, peerless close reader.
With a yr-long hiatus, followed by a guest edited issue, I've felt quite detached from my baby but @PoetryBrum is five yrs old today! For personal reasons, I'm thinking of this editorial & poem I wrote for Issue 8: poetrybirmingham.com/issue-8-editor… P.S. You shd get PBLJ10 any day now. 🪲
It's been five years since PBLJ was founded! We're sending out more copies of Issue 10 today. Do post yours when you get it & let us know what you think. 🪲
Our new issue, guest-edited by Nuzhat Bukhari, will begin arriving with subscribers and customers next week! You can have a read of some pieces online now. 🪲
The Spring 2024 Issue of - Poetry Birmingham Literary Journal - @PoetryBrum - is now out in the world. You may read a select number of pieces online & hear recordings by several poets & order a copy of the Issue. poetrybirmingham.com/store/p/issue1…

Well - today is Day 1 of my new role as Poetry Editor of Poetry London. Thank you to @anaffissahely and the team for the warm welcome at last night's launch. Excited where the magazine goes from here...
New poem in the latest issue of @berlinlit ! Sharing digital space with some fantastic poets ✨
issue six of berlin lit is out now! berlinlit.com
Not enough GCs are hyped about Galloway's massive victory:
I have a book out later this year ('An Arbitrary Light Bulb' from @picadorbooks) and at times like these, I always remember this Garda report about how the great Patrick Kavanagh went about advertising new publications
@naushsabah I am incredibly proud to have worked as guest-editor for Naush Sabah. Note her refusal to be politically silenced or bought-off with money. Note her integrity when Ace funds @PoetryBrum
I refuse to even indulge the pernicious and worryingly common idea that insisting adults read literature is ‘elitist’. Great literature is democratic and various, waiting for you whoever you are, faithful to the true complexity of what it is to be human, not babying nostalgia.
I’m a ‘poetry snob’ alright, if by that we mean valuing poetry primarily for its ability to cut through the lifeless language of cliché and platitude. I’m interested in poems that shed light on the shadowy complexity of life, not marketing stunts to build influencer brands.
The poetry market on course for its biggest year, boosted by pop stars, the “insta-poet” space, a groundbreaking translation of Homer and led by collections from a writer whose breakthrough came during lockdown. Read more 👇 thebookseller.com/spotlight/poet…
Train strikes mean it is a 3am bus back from Manchester - but thesis (on libretti and operatic writing) was successfully defended. So apparently I'm a Dr now.
@NuzhatBukhari7 has been working extremely hard on the latest issue of @PoetryBrum which is almost ready to go to print! Do pre-order on the website & speak to your librarians, departments, local bookshops about getting copies in.
Even a draft to discard is a good thing to have, so I'm pleased.
